[ecrea] Postdoc researcher vacancy at King's College London

Thu Jul 10 00:06:21 GMT 2014





King’s College London invites applications for a position of a research associate to work on the INFOCORE project in close collaboration with the Principal Investigator at King’s, Professor Christoph Meyer. INFOCORE is a major international collaborative research project funded under the 7th European Framework Program of the European Union and led by the LMU Munich. Its main aim is to investigate the role(s) that media play in the emergence or prevention, the escalation or de-escalation, the management, resolution, and reconciliation of violent conflict.



The researcher should have a PhD in the area of international relations or related disciplines, ideally with a topic involving the role of NGOs and/or the media in violent conflict and peace-building. The successful candidate will be expected to conduct research on role of NGOs as communicators, advocates and sources of open-source intelligence in impending, current or past cases of violent conflict. Moreover, the postholder will contribute to the sampling of relevant digital content for the analysis by other members of the INFOCORE team and conduct interviews with practitioners such as journalists, officials, politicians, and NGO staff in the UK and France. Working knowledge of French and experience of conducting interviews will thus be important for this role as well as the ability to work to deadlines and within a multi-national team of researchers located across Europe. The candidate is expected to publish in high-quality journals and contribute to joint-project publications. The project provides some funds for travel to present research results at conferences.



For further details, including the job and person-specifications, please visit King’s College website and submit your application via the online submission system by 20 July. If, after reading the relevant documents, candidates have further question they can informally approach Professor Meyer at (christoph.meyer /at/ kcl.ac.uk).



Interviews will take place week commencing 11 August 2014.
